Overview
The Eaton Cutler-Hammer E65-SMTD15-HL is a thru-beam photoelectric detector in the proven SM Series product line. Eaton’s Cutler-Hammer SM Series sensors feature high performance and ease of use in an economical, compact package. This Thru-beam Detector features a 50 Foot (15 M) Sensing Range with Visible Red Beam, 10-30 Vdc supply, Cable connection, NPN and PNP Output, and Light Operate logic. The sensor is designed for general-purpose industrial object detection with reliable visible feedback and alignment aids.
Key Features
- TargetLockâ„¢ provides diagnostic information during use to inform you of impending problems before they result in equipment downtime
- Visible sensing beams on all models show you exactly where the sensors are pointing. The durable housing features multiple mounting options to easily fit on your equipment in the tightest of spaces.
- Full protection from overvoltage, reverse polarity and short-circuits reduces the chance of damage. Bright 360 deg LED indicators clearly show sensor status.
- Light Operate mode with NPN and PNP open-collector output options
- Forward-viewing rectangular body design for flexible mounting
